Re: Which Water of Life Did You Purchase Today?

Binny's 15% off coupon day (excludes allocated and cellar items) and as the bourbon cupboard is quite full I picked up a batch 39 Aberlour A'bunadh at $51 with the discount...and some excellent cheap Portuguese red wines too.

Picked up 2 HP12's in Atlanta (each came with a free 50 ml of HP18) for $34 ea. Then I grabbed 2 Laphroaig 18's for $59 ea at the duty free coming back into Canada! What a score (it goes for $179.99 at the LCBO :-() !

The Dark Side Temptor at McScrooge's insisted I try a sample of Springbank 12 yr Cask Strength. He might as well have reached in my pocket and taken $70 at the same time. I hadn't completely swallowed my first sip before I ran and grabbed a bottle from the shelf to take home. Magnificent whiskey.

That caught my eye at Binny's last week...looks like I got my next dark side purchase...and these I really am sneaking past the wife...she's met TomH enough to know what could be in store .

I tell you if we could try before we buy in Georgia like that I'd be a much poorer man.

We might need to work out a try-before-you-buy GBS offshoot where everyone picks a bottle from a list and then we get together for sampling. We kind of do that with bourbon at GBS meetings but hell, 50%-75% of that stuff you can't really get readily anyway.
